Kick up your heels at the Ranch Roundup: A Taste of Olde Florida

Posted

STUART — The Treasure Coast Hospice Foundation invites guests to kick up their heels at an exciting new event, the Ranch Roundup - A Taste of Olde Florida, on Saturday, March 8, from 11 am to 3 pm, at Adams Ranch, 26001 Orange Avenue, Fort Pierce. The family-friendly event will pay tribute to Florida’s ranching lifestyle of yesteryear. Proceeds will benefit the Treasure Coast Hospice Treasured Pets Program.

Ranch Roundup will transport attendees back to Florida’s early rural days amidst the natural beauty of Adams Ranch. Experience an authentic western-style afternoon of music, food, and ranch-themed fun, including live music by The Tom Jackson Band, a catered lunch from Carter’s Grocery and Adams Ranch Natural Beef, and a mini Beer Garden sponsored by Sailfish Brewery. In addition to taking a ranch tour, testing their skills riding a mechanical bull, or donning their finest western attire for the costume contests, guests will enjoy a variety of ranch-style games, demonstrations and more throughout the day.

“Treasure Coast Hospice is thrilled to once again partner with the Adams Family to create a truly memorable event,” said Agnes Palmer, Foundation Director. “The Ranch Roundup Committee invites the community to dust off their boots and come out to support our unique and much-loved Treasured Pets Program, which brings immeasurable comfort to patients and their families.”

Treasure Coast Hospice’s Treasured Pets Program assists hospice patients with the care of their beloved pets. The volunteer-run program helps maintain the general health and well-being for the pet at a time when it may be difficult for the patient and family to do so. Trained volunteers deliver pet food, play with and walk the pets, and transport them to and from their groomers and veterinarian appointments. Relieving the strain of caring for a pet allows family members to focus on their loved one while patients find comfort in knowing that their furry companions are being cared for and will not be left without a home in the future.

“For so many of our patients, their pets are cherished family members. But life-limiting illness makes it difficult if not impossible for them to care for their beloved companion animals,” said Lisa Gunggoll, Director of Volunteer Services, which oversees the Treasured Pets Program. “Thanks to a dedicated group of compassionate volunteers, along with financial support from the community, Treasured Pets offers peace of mind and unique support to our patients and their four-legged friends.”

The Ranch Roundup committee members include Cindee Adams, Eileen Emery, Ally Fowler, Lisa Gunggoll, Lori Gunn, Jimmie Anne Haisley, Quinn Haisley-Wheeler and Ronnie Rossetti.

Event sponsors joining Carter’s Grocery, Adams Ranch Natural Beef and Sailfish Brewing Co. are Thomas Hay Feed, St. Lucie Battery and Tire, Martin Funeral Home and Crematory, Visiting Angels, Estate Trust and Elder Law Firm, Aycock Dignity Memorial and Haisley Funeral Home.
